A BAIT THAT DIDN'T TEMPT.
Governor Gray's Significant Offer of an Office
to the Editor Of the Labor Signal.

A story is going about among the Knights of
Labor of this city concerning Governor Gray
and the clerkship Of the Bureau of Public print
ing, which, putting this and that together,
throws an additional side-light on the various
strings that were pulled in the matter of the
United States senatorship. Two weeks ago last
Wednesday young man came from the Govern
organ Of the knights Of Labor, with request
from Governor Gray for Mr.. Thomas Gruelle,
the editor, to call upon him at his Office. Mr..
Gruelle who is somewhat cautious in his deal
ings with politicians, old not allow himself to go
unaccompanied to the Governors Office, but
took two knightly friends with him. in order to
have witnesses to whatever should occur. On
arrival at the Governors Office, that functionary
separated the friends and. taking Mr.. Gruelle
into another room, said he had sent for him
adding significantly that this offer had nothing
whatever to do with the senatorial situation
Mr.. Gruelle said nothing, but took the hint at
its full meaning, as the Governor confined and
unfoded his project The Governor said that
he and State Auditor Rice had been talking to-
State Printing Board; that Colonel Maynard had
resigned, and they had decided him Mr..
Gruelle as mis- successor. Governor Gray said If
Mr.. Gruele would take the place Bruce Carr,
| the new Auditor, would not dare to vote against
his retention in the Office, which was worth 81,
| 200 year. The editor of the Labor Signal, who
| is also prominent in organizations of the knights
| of Labor, saw the drift of the Governors re-
marks, and understood that at that particular
| juncture he was worth something. However,
| he declined the Governors offer as he had al
ready as much as he could attend to.

A HEAVY LOSS FROM FIRE.
The Central Chair Factory Destroyed, Yes
terday, Causing Loss of $4,000.

The Central chair factory burned yesterday
morning. The factory is situated south of Geor-
gia street, and west of the Union railroad tracks,
and in location that was very difficult for the
department. to reach. The factory consisted Of
main building and several sheds, that in al
covered a half square. The main building was
200x80 feet, and two stories high. and the largest
shed. used as the finishing room, 60x80 feet and
the same height The night Waterman had just
started a fire in the engine, and was going to
the Office at six o'clock when he discovered
flames issuing from the roof Of the saw-mill at

fore the department. reached the scene the whole
mill was In flames and the FIRE had spread to the
main building second alarm was turned in,
and the department responded but all that could
be done was to keep the flames from spreading.
The sheds were constructed of very infammable
material, and the fremen found it impossible to
stand within fifty feet of the FIRE. The water
quate, and after all the hose Of the department
was brought into use it did not prove sufficient.
The fire was dangerous looking and large
brands were carried in all directions. Nothing
but the alertness of the fremen and favorable
southwest wind saved the city from frightful
confagration. The fire is attributed to incen-
diarism, though some Of the company think
tramps were quartered in the mill, and started
a fire that spread beyond their control.
The factory is owned by corporation, of
which I. j. Thompson is president, c. F. Woe

tary. There are qnlte number IF stockhold-

"We were taken about three o'clock Sun

were landed at Souris. When taken we
were almost naked. The day was hot and
our work hard, and accordingly we stripped
off all our clothing with the exception of a
seanty singlet before leaving the vessel. We
were marched ON board the cruiser in thi

YACHTS IN THE STREETS.
Augusta, Ca, Under Water and the
Rain Still Falling.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug. 1.-The Savannah
river now registers 35 feet Seven-eighths
of this city is flooded to depth of from one
to twenty feet, and in many instances the
water is in the second story of the houses.
In the southern portion of the city canal
bank burst yesterday, and Lombard's ma m
moth iron foundry is in danger of being
swept away at any moment. Two hundred
boats are engaged in removing people from
their houses. q
In Hamburg, across the river, the water is
up to the tops of all the small houses, and
people have fled to the hills In the rear of
the town. The South Carolina a. Port Royal
and Augusta railroad trestles across the riy-
er have been swept away, and the bridges
proper have been in such danger that an
trains have been stopped. The Enterprise
cotton factory is surrounded by water. and
in the stores in the neighborhood the water
is over the counters. Every factory in the
city is shut down, and the prospects are that
they will remain so for the next two weeks.
A report comes from up river to the effect
that there is still a pouring rain. and it is
feared that the entire city will be flooded.
Yesterday afternoon, a dozen sailing yachts
could be seen in the streets
AUGUSTA, Aug. 2.-The flood has nearly
subsidized. The loss will not exceed $50 900.
